Senators trade Nick Paul to Lightning
The Ottawa Senators have traded winger Nick Paul to the Tampa Bay Lightning in exchange for forward Mathieu Joseph and a 2024 fourth-round pick, the Senators announced Sunday.
Ottawa will retain 44.5% of Paul's remaining salary in 2021-22.
Paul, 27, carries a cap hit of $1.35 million and is a pending unrestricted free agent. He has 11 goals and seven assists in 59 contests this season while averaging over 17 minutes a night.
He missed the Senators' last two games as a healthy scratch as Monday's trade deadline loomed.

Wedgewood, 29, holds a .909 save percentage and a 3.16 goals against average across 29 appearances this season.
Jets reunite with Mason Appleton
The Winnipeg Jets are bringing back a familiar face.

Seattle selected Appleton from the Jets' roster during the expansion draft in July. He has six goals and 11 assists in 49 games this season.
Predators acquire Lauzon from Kraken
The Nashville Predators have acquired defenseman Jeremy Lauzon from the Seattle Kraken in exchange for a 2022 second-round pick, the Predators announced Sunday.
Lauzon, 24, carries a cap hit of $850,000 and can be an arbitration-eligible restricted free agent this offseason. He's logged one goal and five assists in 53 games this season while averaging almost 18 minutes of ice time per contest.
The 6-foot-1 blue-liner led all Kraken skaters with 176 hits, and he saw the fourth-most shorthanded ice time in Seattle.
Canucks acquire defenceman Travis Dermott from Maple Leafs
The Canucks sent the Leafs a third-round pick in the 2022 NHL draft.
"Travis Dermott was a guy that obviously we talked about getting a little bit younger here. Travis can play both left and right side," general manager Patrik Allvin told reporters on Sunday. "Our pro scouts and our analytic department were excited about him and I've had the opportunity to follow him for a couple years here in Toronto."
Dermott, 25, has one goal and four assists in 43 games this season. He fell behind Rasmus Sandin and Timothy Liljegren on the Leafs' depth chart in recent weeks and rumours have swirled that he'd be leaving Toronto.
“Over the last couple days, I didn’t really know when anything would happen or if it would happen so it’s definitely been a bit of a stressful and anxious time the last 48 hours, that’s for sure," Dermott said.
"But happy to have it over, that’s for sure. Super excited to be a Canuck."
